I must applaud those who have posted lately. I thought I had the female side locked up after the first five or six, but there have been some additions that make me wonder if Ann Coulter is even in my top 5. Let the thread continue! ---

Am I missing something? If memory serves, he sold cocaine to Phil Hartman’s wife on the day she shot him, which is believed to have contributed to the murder. Hartman was widely regarded as a good guy, and Dick apparently made some tasteless jokes afterwards regarding his death. ---

Am I missing something? His assorted TV shows were absurd; a combination of his own personal brand of disgusting, plus his all-around self-indulgent flamboyancy topped off with his appearance is more than enough. Plus the Phil Hartman episode. ---

Yeah, I don’t know if he counts as a celebrity, but if it’s who I’m thinking of\*, he’d have to win this. \*If it’s who I’m thinking of, I’m scared to look it up again!
